Human Taste Buds Can Tell The Difference Between Normal And 'Heavy' Water

Human Taste Buds Can Tell The Difference Between Normal And 'Heavy' Water
11 APRIL 2021
This may come as a bit of a shocker, but technically speaking, not all water on Earth is made up of H
2O molecules.
Less than a century ago, the discovery of the hydrogen isotope deuterium –
2H, but often simplified to D – revealed the existence of another kind of water with the chemical formula
2H
2O.

Here's how they differ. A typical hydrogen atom contains one proton within its nucleus. The deuterium isotope, however, has a neutron in addition to the proton, giving the hydrogen atom a greater mass. Hence, water formed with this type of heavy hydrogen is usually called... heavy water.
